I'm ashamed to ask this: I was big into boarding in the 80s and want to buy a board to ride to meetings in my office - will this hold an adult man?

Yes it will hold an adult male!! I ride it to and from the park with my son. I also use it to show him how to do different skate moves. Perfect for the office.

It will handle 180 lbs no problem. The board is slightly convex (curved the whole length of the board) which gives it plenty of strength.

It's a shorter board, but sturdy. I weigh over 200lbs and rode around on it. But I wasn't doing anything crazy, I'm too old for that. It's made like any Powell board, the length is the only difference I noticed.

I like my 31" cruiser long board better. It's easier to ride no hang ups on anything

I cannot say for sure. What I can tell you that may help is my daughter who is 7 years old would like the same size board. As she has talked to some older girls who skate and I have asked the same question of skaters, the response we keep getting is that the really small boards are too hard to ride and balance on. I am going with this size board for her. Not sure if this helps. The Andy Mac board itself is an excellent quality board for the price.

I would say yes but not 100% sure. One of my boys is 176 and he rides it daily and have no problems. The other is 154 and also rides daily. Just a note that its not a board for tricks. More for riding and gliding along smooth.

That's exactly why I bought this board. After a year of college, I'd say it's OK for everyday use. It has good wheels and bearings so you don't have to push as much as most similar sized skateboards. However, it's thick wooden deck and length make it annoying to carry after a while. Also, it's a pintail cruiser, so it's turning radius kinda sucks. As far as longboards go, it's nice. If you do buy it and plan on using a lot or for bombing hills, I recommend installing bigger wheels and risers(not necessary though, comes with decent hardware).

yes, but of course you will want to tighten the trucks or bring a wrench with you to adjust to your preference depending on the type of riding and speed, also of course wear proper protection... great board for the price, and looks good too..

My little brother measured and said as long as it's the only board you plan to travel with you should be fine. Hope that helps.

I don't know. I bought 2 of these for my grandchildren (age 12). They are not avid boarders. They are otherwise very pleased with them.

I am 210 lbs and have no problem so I think it would be fine. It is a nice board.

This board was purchased for my 20 year old son who had used his friends a few times and overall liked it. But due to the design, the friends board had cracked where it was skinny in the neck. I think it'd be a great board for a smaller person. My son/friend weigh around 175 pounds.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

no H. Bauer they don't know anything about riding!!! this board doesn't turn well at all mine did even turn right and I am about 98ibs and have been skating for about 5 years so no not good enough unless you want to go in a straight line. go talk to someone at a skate shop NEVER BUY A BOARD ONLINE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AND IF THE REVIEWS ARE CORRECT OR NOT

This would depend on your general ability to move. i am 60 and don't have any problems or foresee any in the future. It does not have any structured bottom to prevent slipping though and it has a nice smooth finish that may become slippery when wet or just emptied of soapy water. Sorry for not much of an answer, but there are too many variables that may matter to you and not to me.

Most definitely! I bought this board basically right after I rode on a friend's longboard earlier that day. I was so excited that I didn't fall off the first time and that it reminded me of being on a surfboard, that I bought this board the same day. It's a beautiful board and it's a great price, so it's worth it.

Yes, for adults too. I'm 5'8" and ride daily. Believe it goes up to 180 or 200 lbs.

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I'd like to help you but I have yet to use this board. I too am around 200lbs and my old board was pretty much the same size and could carry me effortlessly. I have high hopes for this one. The bottom seems like it is quality plastic just thick enough to withstand abuse but thin enough to not be too heavy

I weigh 120 and did fine. I don't know what the term 'floaty' refers to, but I found that I was able to steer well, found the board to be very stable, and I had fun! You can easily contact the manufacturer, who is very into customer service. I did just that and was assured that the board was ok for my small stature. Good luck!
